So, the copy happened, but a committer hasn't actually upgraded the port yet.

I do appreciate the time you took to explain this with the additional link. Thank you. I guess I should have made it more clear. +===========================================+ | This happened?: 2010/05/12 12:13:06 | | And the date now: 2010/07/25 00:08:51 | +===========================================+ This is more than 2 months that nothing has been done with this port. Unless I am wrong and the repo-copy is recent with an old date but I thought that the ident(1) line was/is/should be updated when this happens?. After a repo-copy I would have thought that these lines should have been updated to establish the new port and for whom created it, which would then be re-committed bumping the version to 1.167 and recent date so there is no confusion. # New ports collection makefile for: python26 # Date created: 3 July 2003 # Whom: Hye-Shik Chang <perky(a)FreeBSD.org> A nice part about it is you can switch your ORIGIN to that and be all set for the upgrade. ;) Any way I just wanted to give a heads up for this as it seemed pretty odd as things like this usually happen and get updated all about the same time that a repo-copy happens & this has been in ports that I know of for more than ~1.5 weeks without any sort of update. Regards, PS: These were not followed from the link above. When a port has been repo copied: 1. Do a force commit on the files of the copied port, stating repository copy was performed. 2. Upgrade the copied port to the new version. Remember to change the LATEST_LINK so there are no duplicate ports with the same name. In some rare cases it may be necessary to change the PORTNAME instead of LATEST_LINK, but this should only be done when it is really needed -- e.g. using an existing port as the base for a very similar program with a different name, or upgrading a port to a new upstream version which actually changes the distribution name, like the transition from textproc/libxml to textproc/libxml2. In most cases, changing LATEST_LINK should suffice. -- jhell,v _______________________________________________ freebsd-ports(a)freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-ports To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-ports-unsubscribe(a)freebsd.org"
